     英語中的基本語序是“主語+謂語”,這叫陳述句語序。如果將謂語的全部或一部分放在主語之前,這種語序叫做倒裝語序.當(dāng)謂語動詞全部放在主語之前時,叫做全部倒裝.當(dāng)謂語的一部分放在主語之前時,叫做部分倒裝.倒裝的使用有以下即中情形:
    1.用于句首為下列副詞的句子中: here, there, now, out ,in, up, down, away, off, then, 形成全部倒裝.
    Here is a ticket for you.
    Down came the bird.
    (Here you are. There he comes.為什么這兩個句子沒有用倒裝的形式呢?因為它們的主語是代詞,而只有主語是名詞或名詞短語的時候,才適用于這種全部倒裝。)
    2.在下列副詞為首的句型中, 形成部分倒裝.only + 浮詞、介詞短語,壯語從句或often , many a time.如:
    only then did I realize the importance of English.
    often did we ask her not to be late for school.
    Many a time has he helped us.
    3.用在前面所說的情況也適合于另一個人或物的肯定句或否定句中.
    (1)肯定重復(fù)倒裝用,so 如;
    He likes swimming,so do I.
    (2)否定重復(fù)倒裝用 nor,neither,no more.
    I don’t agree with you, nor do they.
    Tom can’t speak English. Neither can Jack.
    4.在下列否定副詞或短語為首的句子中,形成部分倒裝
    never, at no time , by no means , nowhere. in no case. Little,. in no circumstances. not only, neither, nor, no sooner…than , never before, not until, hardly, scarcely, barely. 如:
    No sooner had I gone out than it rained.
    5.用于讓步莊于從句中,用no matter how,however, as.
    如:Young as he is, he is good at painting very much.
